The coast north of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo is a
goofyfooter's paradise featuring a gaggle of quality left points,
quaint rural villages, high-tech nightlife, and hard core surf
action at a slew of breaks ranging from gentlemanly to full octane.
I visited there with a group headed up by a Capo Beach clan chieftain
who maintains a house at his favorite breaks, yet tried this
surf zone last year and has been back three times since. He and
his cadre pride themselves in sussing out the best place to be,
and then the best way to tap it from a value versus effort standpoint,
and once they hit on the answer, they pound it. Right now this
crew has targeted a B&B in the village of Troncones as their
area headquarters. The oceanfront Casa Delfin Sonriente ( House
of the Smiling Dolphin) is located about 15 miles north of Ixtapa
and features squeaky-clean rooms, refreshing pool, complimentary
breakfast,and proprietor Glen Novey ( a contractor from
Santa Cruz) will put you on the right break for the day, frequently
joining in for the go-out. Accommodations range from $65 a day
and up Reservations are a must. Be sure to reserve an air-conditioned
Suburban and, oh, yes, all the point breaks have fresh lobster
and cold beer joints right at the paddle-out spots. To contact
the Casa, fax or call (831) 688-6578 in California, or
in Mexico at 011-52-755-32803 (leave a fax if possible).
